"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Hey Guys,

I will be heading over to Italy in late August of next year for festival and I've decided to learn Italian to help myself get around and not look like a complete tourist.

I'm kind of excited to go and to be honest I've never taken up the time to learn another language.

As long as I can squeeze in at least 30 minutes of studying time a day to go along with my poker training, hopefully by June I can be sorta fluent in both.

Are there any bi lingual or tri lingual posters on this site? if, so whats your second language?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You want to become fluent in a foreign language in six months by studying it for 30 minutes a day?? LMAO! That's kind of like saying "'I'm going to play football for 30 minutes a day and hopefully by June I can sort of compete in the NFL".

fluent? no i know thats impossible. just enough to hail a cab and grab some food. A friend of mine is fluent in Italian is going to the same festival so I can bounce broken Italian with him.

BTW..your analogy is wrong.

Im not shooting to become a pro.

I have Italian Crash Course read by a female Narrarator. But I wouldn't say I'm trilingual. I just casually read over and learn what I can. Italian is awesome and the people are friendly.
